Millions of refugees from Washington’s wars are currently over-running Europe. Washington’s 14-year and ongoing slaughter of Muslims and destruction of their countries are war crimes for which the US government’s official 9/11 conspiracy theory was the catalyst. Factual evidence and science do not support Washington’s conspiracy theory. The 9/11 Commission did not conduct an investigation. It was not permitted to investigate. The Commission sat and listened to the government’s story and wrote it down. Afterwards, the chairman and co-chairman of the Commission said that the Commission “was set up to fail.” For a factual explanation of 9/11, watch this film:

The Story Delta Flight 15 on 9-11-01. It reminds us of how many helpful people there are in the world. The ones who aren't helpful just get a lot more press.



I had never heard of this until it showed up in my email earlier:


 From a flight attendant on Delta Flight 15, written following 9-11:

On the morning of Tuesday, September 11, we were about 5 hours out of Frankfurt, flying over the North Atlantic.


All of a sudden the curtains parted and I was told to go to the cockpit, immediately, to see the captain.


As soon as I got there I noticed that the crew had that “All Business” look on their faces. The captain handed me a printed message. It was from Delta’s main office in Atlanta and simply read, “All airways over the Continental United States are closed to commercial air traffic. Land ASAP at the nearest airport. Advise your destination.”


No one said a word about what this could mean. We knew it was a serious situation and we needed to find terra firma quickly. The captain determined that the nearest airport was 400 miles behind us in Gander, Newfoundland.


He requested approval for a route change from the Canadian traffic controller and approval was granted immediately — no questions asked. We found out later, of course, why there was no hesitation in approving our request.


While the flight crew prepared the airplane for landing, another message arrived from Atlanta telling us about some terrorist activity in the New York area. A few minutes later word came in about the hijackings.


We decided to LIE to the passengers while we were still in the air. We told them the plane had a simple instrument problem and that we needed to land at the nearest airport in Gander, Newfoundland, to have it checked out.


We promised to give more information after landing in Gander. There was much grumbling among the passengers, but that’s nothing new! Forty minutes later, we landed in Gander. Local time at Gander was 12:30 PM …. that’s 11:00 AM EST.

There were already about 20 other airplanes on the ground from all over the
world that had taken this detour on their way to the US.


After we parked on the ramp, the captain made the following announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, you must be wondering if all these airplanes around us have the same instrument problem as we have. The reality is that we are here for another reason.”


Then he went on to explain the little bit we knew about the situation in the US. There were loud gasps and stares of disbelief. The captain informed passengers that Ground control in Gander told us to stay put.


The Canadian Government was in charge of our situation and no one was allowed to get off the aircraft. No one on the ground was allowed to come near any of the air crafts. Only airport police would come around periodically, look us over and go on to the next airplane.

In the next hour or so more planes landed and Gander ended up with 53 airplanes from all over the world, 27 of which were US commercial jets.


Meanwhile, bits of news started to come in over the aircraft radio and for the first time we learned that airplanes were flown into the World Trade Center in New York and into the Pentagon in DC.


People were trying to use their cell phones, but were unable to connect due to a different cell system in Canada . Some did get through, but were only able to get to the Canadian operator who would tell them that the lines to the U.S. were either blocked or jammed.


Sometime in the evening the news filtered to us that the World Trade Center buildings had collapsed and that a fourth hijacking had resulted in a crash. By now the passengers were emotionally and physically exhausted, not to mention frightened, but everyone stayed amazingly calm.


We had only to look out the window at the 52 other stranded aircraft to realize that we were not the only ones in this predicament.
We had been told earlier that they would be allowing people off the planes one plane at a time. At 6 PM, Gander airport told us that our turn to deplane would be 11 am the next morning.

Passengers were not happy, but they simply resigned themselves to this news without much noise and started to prepare themselves to spend the night on the airplane.


Gander had promised us medical attention, if needed, water, and lavatory servicing.And they were true to their word.

Fortunately, we had no medical situations to worry about. We did have a young lady who was 33 weeks into her pregnancy. We took REALLY good care of her. The night passed without incident despite the uncomfortable sleeping arrangements.

About 10:30 on the morning of the 12th a convoy of school buses showed up. We got off the plane and were taken to the terminal where we went through Immigration and Customs and then had to register with the Red Cross.


After that we (the crew) were separated from the passengers and were taken in vans to a small hotel.

We had no idea where our passengers were going. We learned from the Red Cross that the town of Gander has a population of 10,400 people and they had about 10,500 passengers to take care of from all the airplanes that were forced into Gander!

We were told to just relax at the hotel and we would be contacted when the US airports opened again, but not to expect that call for a while.


We found out the total scope of the terror back home only after getting to our hotel and turning on the TV, 24 hours after it all started.

Meanwhile, we had lots of time on our hands and found that the people of Gander were extremely friendly. They started calling us the “plane people.” We enjoyed their hospitality, explored the town of Gander and ended up having a pretty good time.
Two days later, we got that call and were taken back to the Gander airport. Back on the plane, we were reunited with the passengers and found out what they had been doing for the past two days.
What we found out was incredible…..


Gander and all the surrounding communities (within about a 75 Kilometer radius) had closed all high schools, meeting halls, lodges, and any other large gathering places. They converted all these facilities to mass lodging areas for all the stranded travelers.
Some had cots set up, some had mats with sleeping bags and pillows set up.
ALL the high school students were required to volunteer their time to take care of the “guests.”

Our 218 passengers ended up in a town called Lewisporte, about 45 kilometers from Gander where they were put up in a high school. If any women wanted to be in a women-only facility, that was arranged.


Families were kept together. All the elderly passengers were taken to private homes.

Remember that young pregnant lady? She was put up in a private home right across the street from a 24-hour Urgent Care facility. There was a dentist on call and both male and female nurses remained with the crowd for the duration.

Phone calls and e-mails to the U.S. and around the world were available to everyone once a day.

During the day, passengers were offered “Excursion” trips.

Some people went on boat cruises of the lakes and harbors. Some went for hikes in the local forests.


Local bakeries stayed open to make fresh bread for the guests.

Food was prepared by all the residents and brought to the schools. People were driven to restaurants of their choice and offered wonderful meals. Everyone was given tokens for local laundry mats to wash their clothes, since luggage was still on the aircraft.

In other words, every single need was met for those stranded travelers.


Passengers were crying while telling us these stories. Finally, when they were told that U.S. airports had reopened, they were delivered to the airport right on time and without a single passenger missing or late. The local Red Cross had all the information about the whereabouts of each and every passenger and knew which plane they needed to be on and when all the planes were leaving. They coordinated everything beautifully.
It was absolutely incredible.

When passengers came on board, it was like they had been on a cruise. Everyone knew each other by name. They were swapping stories of their stay, impressing each other with who had the better time.


Our flight back to Atlanta looked like a chartered party flight. The crew just stayed out of their way. It was mind-boggling.

Passengers had totally bonded and were calling each other by their first names, exchanging phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses.
And then a very unusual thing happened.


One of our passengers approached me and asked if he could make an announcement over the PA system. We never, ever allow that. But this time was different. I said “of course” and handed him the mike. He picked up the PA and reminded everyone about what they had just gone through in the last few days.

He reminded them of the hospitality they had received at the hands of total strangers.
He continued by saying that he would like to do something in return for the good folks of Lewisporte.


“He said he was going to set up a Trust Fund under the name of DELTA 15 (our flight number). The purpose of the trust fund is to provide college scholarships for the high school students of Lewisporte.

He asked for donations of any amount from his fellow travelers. When the paper with donations got back to us with the amounts, names, phone numbers and addresses, the total was for more than $14,000!


“The gentleman, a MD from Virginia , promised to match the donations and to start the administrative work on the scholarship. He also said that he would forward this proposal to Delta Corporate and ask them to donate as well.

As I write this account, the trust fund is at more than $1.5 million and has assisted 134 students in college education.


Pretty cool story, huh. It reminds us of how many helpful people there are in the world. The ones who aren't helpful just get a lot more press.

I don't know if the above email is the exact verbage that was in the original. I have found a 
couple of slight variations while researching the authenticity.

Lansing Firefighter Intentionally Killed By Hit And Run Driver....





LANSING, MI -- Lansing firefighter Dennis Rodeman died after a hit-and-run driver intentionally ran him over while he was collecting funds at a "fill the boot" event to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, police said.
"We believe that this was not an accident and that the actions of this individual were intentional," Lansing Police Chief Michael Yankowski said.
Firefighters were collecting donations at Jolly Road and Cedar Street in south Lansing when Rodeman was struck. Police were dispatched to the scene at 3:40 p.m.
At 6:30 p.m., Rodeman was pronounced dead.
A 22-year-old man was apprehended in connection with the incident after a car chase, a foot chase and a struggle with police. Police are holding him on probable cause for open murder and felony fleeing and eluding. The evidence will be presented to the prosecutor's office in the morning. The man's name has not yet been released.

Things Are Getting Serious.....













This Comment Is Worth Sharing...




 It is in response to CMBLAKES post HERE



FXPhillips writes:

 
I know you’re being rhetorical but I will try.

The reason we now have the disaster is because about 75 years ago the two “opposition” parties essentially melded in the throes of the “great” depression. They came to the consensus clandestinely that the American people had to be controlled for their own good and that only they had the answer even though by all honest accounts their every move just more firmly entrenched what was a mere business cycle down turn into a true economic disaster.
They are as Caroll Quigley once proposed that they are just different enough to fool the ignorant into thinking they can throw the bums out and get a materially different approach.
We cannot. Understand this- when the alleged “conservative” Dwight Eisenhower came to power he had no intention of undoing the “New Deal” bargain made by Roosevelt and Wilkie during the 1940 campaign. Wilkie was another New Dealer who just questioned Roosevelt’s efficiency not his vision. Today’s republican party is not a party of small government and hasn’t been since Coolidge. The “Democrat” party is the party of Government Expansion and the “Republican” role is to give it bi-partisan imprimatur by actually trying to make it work efficiently. After all what was Romney’s primary claim to fame. Making expensive boondoggles work. Not coming in and shutting them down.
Now we see the fruits of this collusion. Ever expanding theft by government and a clear contempt for the rule of law as set down by the only truly innovative regime instituted since the Magna Carta.
The history of the governance of human beings is generally that of a politically connected elite ruling over the ignorant masses. The basic premise being the subjects served the state.
Our founding stood this on its head making the state subservient to citizen and only given the power to adjudicate between citizens equal in the eyes of the law. Our founding with one glaring exception(since corrected) made clear the intrinsic worth of each man and defined his rights as things that one can exercise in an unlimited fashion without making claims or infringing on the rights of others.

But I digress.
They made this pact with the idea that both sides were going to do as the pleased rule of law be damned. This required that they never call out the other for their clear lawlessness. Now the “Democrats” have been the primary violators especially under Obama. But he can’t do this unless the other side is in on the deal.
They sell us out on the border. They sell us out on Iran. They sell us out defenstrating Obamacare. Sell us out on our God given rights so they can manufacture rights for a belligerent micro-nority. They sell us out on funding a barbarous baby chop shop. They sell us out on allowing the governing party to harass us because we don’t agree to their lawlessness. They gaslight us on a pseudo-religion that seeks to enslave us.
These are all bi partisan efforts by the ruling monoparty. The supposed opposition party is gutless as they constantly allow the mortal sins of a truly evil amalgam of hate groups impose their ruthless depravity on this society all so they can get a nice write up in the propaganda organs of their de facto “betters”.
If these people were truly on the side of the rule of law Obama would be in the dock with a bill of particulars two reams of paper high. It would not matter one whit whether they could remove him or because the numbers aren’t there as they would make it clear that these are gross violations of the law and any vote to retain him would be considered aiding and abetting an overthrow of the American republic. But they don’t because they tacitly agree with their senior partners. It doesn’t matter how egregious the policy or corruption encrusted their candidates are the so called “opposition party” not only does not attack their senior partners they openly attack those that have the temerity to openly question these people. Issue after issue you have the so called opposition party running interference for the NDSWP that it reminds one of the Vichy French in North Africa.
Both parties have been long infested with the “progressive” disease for generations now. And by “progressive” I mean the reactionary idea of the dominance of the state. They have both long ago eschewed the idea of God given rights for the idea of state granted privileges. Their basic problem is we the people as many of us actually believe in the constitutional premise of the government as neutral arbiter not self-interested player; government as protector of God given rights from usurpers foreign and domestic not crony dispensers of favors to the connected.
So why does Obama remain? Because they are all in on the scam and that includes the brass perfumed princes who now infest the upper reaches of the military who take an oath to protect and defend the constitution but in actuality have privately sworn fealty to traitor in the White House.
